    AbstractTriage guidelines for unintentional cyclic antidepressant (UCA) ingestions vary widely, with limited supportive evidence. All records of UCA ingestion reported to 4 certified regional poison centers were evaluated for the years 1998 through 2000. Inclusion criteria included age 5 mg/kg. The majority of UCA ingestions produced limited or no symptomatology. In this series, all children with ingestions of <5 mg/kg developed no or minor effects. Home monitoring might be appropriate in such cases.
